Moving, from a Kid's Perspective

When we arrived at the house, the kids were all so excited. They took the camera and started taking pictures of everything! I thought it would be fun to show you some. They were thrilled with all aspects of their new home.
This is a mound of cement in the empty lot behind us. It has become one of the favorite play spots.
This is the northeast side of our back yard.

Do I have to add a caption?

Guess who?!
Even the dirt was exciting!
Shadows make pretty cool pictures!

A Few More Shots

Here we are in front of the house.
The kids got creative and made their own books with hard covers. We have plenty of cardboard boxes around!
Look-a-likes!

Getting ready for school for the first time!Raegan watching Papa make shelves for our new pantry. There was just too much unused space. :)
Thank you, Norma, for bringing breakfast to us Saturday morning! It was delicious and a blessing to us!

We were amazed by the double rainbow we saw. This was fitting for our first weekend in our home because we feel so blessed. Thank you, Jesus, for our home. We hope to use it faithfully.

October 2: Moving Day!

Oh, saying goodbye to Grandma was definitely the tough part of this move. She has been so gracious in allowing us to invade her home for five months.

Grandma, you are such an amazing person. Thank you for spoiling us, loving us, and caring for us so well. We love you and will always cherish the time we were able to spend with you.
Our closing took a little longer than expected, but we still got going in the morning.

Many thanks to those who helped us!
Here is my brother, Marc.

There were a lot of guys who didn't get their picture taken because they were moving too fast. Thanks to all!!!
